Chapter 41
I'm now in my room. After what happened a while ago, Jerwin takes me here and said that I should rest. Tatawagin nalang daw nya ko if ever magdidinner but I suddenly remembered my favor.
I asked if I can cooked our dinner!
Tumayo ako at mabilis na nagpalit nang damit. Komportableng damit at saka ako lumabas. I tied my hair into a bun para hindi maging sagabal pag nagluto ako.
I got into the kitchen. Agad akong dumiretso sa tapat nang refrigerator at nakitang puno yung stock non. He came prepared. I wonder who puts this on his ref. Did he have a.. like, someone who cleans his condo?
I spotted a pork and some ingredients that I can use to make Nilagang Baboy. Napagdesisyunan kong ito nalang ang lutuin. Maliban sa namimiss kong kainin ito, I know Jerwin also likes this dish.
Madali ko lang nahanap ang mga utensils na kailangan. I took out my phone. I'm gonna watch some tutorial or guide.

My whole body froze. My heart fastens its beat and all I did was stare at him. Tears on my eyes started to fall too habang unti unti kong iniintindi ang lahat nang sinabi nya. Pilit kong iniintindi dahil baka namisheard ko lang. He said he's Jefferson. The Jerwin Rivera who's my boss right now just said he is Jefferson. It's so much for me too take in. I stared at him before gulping as I prepared myself to ask. I want to confirm. Clearly, this is something that can't take as a joke. "Y- you're Jefferson?" I asked, whispering. He took a deep breath and nodded. "H-how come? You're clearly aren't Jefferson. I-i know him. I know his face and makikilala ko kaagad sya pag nakita ko ulit sya so, why are you saying that you are him?" I was blabbering because of nervousness and the emotions filling inside. He leaned back the chair and takes a sip of water in

"Ready?" He asked while fixing his tie. Humarap naman ako sakanya and I immediately smile when I saw him looking at me with a smile. Last look at my appearance, I nodded and walked near him. Last night when he confessed that he's Jefferson. We talked and talked until we both fell asleep. I asked him why his face changed but he diverted the topic kaya hindi ko na pinilit. He seems uncomfortable talking about that. Did he change his face so that my Dad wouldn't continue his plan on killing him? But, my Dad seems to know that it's him since narinig ko yung usapan nila ni Mommy non. After talking, we both fell asleep. Next to each other. I remembered hugging him. Feeling the same feeling back then and it all come back. My heart feels satisfied after a long time knowing that Jefferson is back now. "Hey? Come inside now. Mainit dyan baka mapawisan ka" My thoughts vanished

The meeting started and Jerwin immediately became serious and focused. Nawala yung kaninang nagtatampo nyang mukha. His father and mother seems calm too. And here I am, focusing on the meeting too. Mr. Gutierrez, the man who's making a deal with the Rivera's is speaking right now and I've been noticing how his secretary looks at the man beside me. She's quite young but older than me, I think and eversince she stepped inside with her boss, she can't take her eyes off Jerwin. And it irritates me but I calmed myself. It's immature kung papatulan ko at isa pa, I don't think I have the rights to act possessive. "Is that okay with you, Mr. Rivera?" Mr. Gutierrez asked. He smiled at his friend and waits for his answer. "Of course, your works and ideas always amaze me. And I already know that you're ideas would impress me" Mr. Rivera said. They shook hands and Jerwin did also.

I immediately go to get my things and pull out clothes to change when we got to his condo. I sighed as I started to comb my hair. Nahiga ako sa kama at kinuha ang phone ko. I remembered my Mom. I should call her. Jefferson opened the door and smiled. He's now wearing a white cotton shirt and black shorts. He sits in my bed and taps the space beside me, asking if he could lay down. I nodded and started dialing my mother's number. Jefferson wrapped his arms around my waist and burried his face on my hair. I closed my eyes and leaned on his chest as I wait for my mother to answer. "Who are you calling, hm?" He whispered. "My mom. I want to know how she's doing" sagot ko kasabay nang pagsagot nang tawag mula sa kabilang linya. "Mom?" I called. A silence greeted me. Until I heard sobs. My eyes instantly opened and I immediately sit up causing Jefferson to sit up too.

Warning: Suicide Mabilis ang flight namin pauwi sa Pilipinas. Jerwin's parents immediately allowed us after knowing what happened. Nung makita nila ang pagkabalisa ko, they immeduately said yes at sila na daw muna ang bahala sa upcoming deals. Jefferson is now driving. Papunta sa mansion namin. I'm nervous at ilang ulit akong huminga nang malalim. I'm nervous in what I would see when I got there. Sana nalowbat lang si Mommy o kaya naman nahulog lang yung phone but... her words. Her words hunts me. Her words sounds farewells. Para syang naghahabilin. "Venice.." Jefferson's voice invaded my thought. I felt him held my hand and gently squeezed. I held back his hand. "Don't overthink. Okay?" He softly said. I just nodded and wait till we got home. Mabilis akong lumabas nang maiparada ang kotse sa tapat nang mansion namin. The whole mansion is so silent. Mukhang walang tao. I hesitantly st

He quietly went beside me and lied down. He faced me but he didn't say something. He just stared. "My mom... I know, h-how she h-hurt us by how she insulted you back then" I started speaking. Umayos nang higa si Jefferson. Lumapit sya nang mas malapit sakin but still, he didn't speak. "But, I can't stay mad at her. I c-can see how she regret that and on those y-years, I manage to forgive her and also, my Dad. She always tells me how sorry she was and ramdam ko naman na bumabawi sya don. When I told her that I wanted to work, she seems hesitant but I insisted since I know how much she missed our life before. I started working to your company. She seems hesitant to let me at first when she heard about me working at Rivera's. Yun pala, alam nya yung nangyari noon. She knew what my father.. did to you.." My tears started to fall. Jefferson immediately wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer. I leaned my head on his chest

Warning: Violence I quietly sit infront of my father. Andito kami sa sala kwarto ko nag usap. Jefferson is also with me and some police officer for my father. "Start speaking now" I said. My father cleared his throat. "I was upset when I knew about your relationship with Madrid. Alam mo kung gaano ko inaalagaan ang imahe nang pamilya natin at sa nalaman ko, nagalit ako dahil alam kong kahihiyan yon sa pamilya" I gritted my teeth and continue listening to him. "I did blackmail you to ruin his mothers life if you didn't break up with him pero hindi ko pinakialaman ang nanay nya because you broke up with him" "I was happy when that happens. Walang dahilan nang issue na magiging dahilan nang kahihiyan. Pero, ilang araw lang, muling nagpakita si Jefferson sa tapat nang mansion naten at sobra akong nagalit don. Nalaman ko na ilang araw syang andun sa labas" I already heard this pero hindi a

I woke up and my eyes immediately shuts dahil sa hapdi. My head also hurts. I got up and glance around. I stared at the figure beside me. There's Jefferson, sleeping beside me. Hindi ko man lang napansin but I found myself staring at him. This man is always there for me. Mula noon hanggang ngayon. Kahit nung panahong hindi ko pa alam na sya pala si Jefferson. He's always there. He always cares. I slowly leaned forward and kissed his forehead before I stood up. I wanna see my mom. Naghilamos ako at nag ayos. I didn't change my clothes. I'm still wearing a black blouse and black jeans at saka ako lumabas. I'm surprised to see Yohan, Tanya, Hera and Emman on the living room, sleeping. Where's Reishell and Yuan, tho? I glanced one last time at them and a small smile etched on my lips and I go outside. There are some people who's already there and I saw
